## Getting online in Montserrat

Most international arrivals land at John A. Osborne Airport (MNI). Install your eSIM Montserrat on Wi-Fi before you fly and it connects as you taxi to the gate, so maps and messages work before you reach passport control.

To get around, most visitors use local taxis and the ferry from Antigua. Your eSIM works across the country, including Little Bay, Brades and the volcano viewpoints, wherever partner networks reach.

Prices locally are in Eastern Caribbean dollar. Your bank's one-time codes still reach your home SIM, so card payments keep working.

### Before you travel

- The south of the island is an exclusion zone around the Soufrière Hills volcano. Coverage is on the inhabited north.

## eSIM vs local SIM vs roaming in Montserrat

|  | LinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |
| Cost | Fixed, paid once | Low, but only after arrival | Often the most expensive |
| Best for | Most travelers | Long stays with a local number | Very short emergency use |

Roaming is the easy option and usually the priciest. A local SIM is cheap but costs you an hour on arrival. The eSIM Montserrat sits in between: set up at home, priced like local data.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which eSIM is best for Montserrat?

One that matches your days and leaves some data spare. A country plan is usually the better deal for Montserrat alone; if the trip continues to Jamaica, a regional plan is simpler.

Yes. Your eSIM Montserrat covers Montserrat wherever partner networks reach, including Little Bay, Brades and the volcano viewpoints. Expect slower data or gaps in remote areas, as with any network.

### Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in Montserrat?

Yes. LinkPaLS plans allow tethering, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel partner. Hotspot use drains data faster, so size up your plan.

Yes, with the same number and chat history. WhatsApp only needs a data connection, and the eSIM Montserrat provides it.

Yes, and we recommend it. Buy and install it at home on Wi-Fi, then turn it on when you land. Most plans start counting days from the first connection in Montserrat.
